My article today, "The Forgotten Role of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights", published on #thoughtleaders by Rappler. I hope the message will resonate today on #HumanRightsDay2023 #HumanRightsDay and the 75th Anniversary of the #UDHR75. 1/8

"In the Philippines, a survey shows that almost 40% of Filipinos rate themselves as having no extensive or adequate knowledge of human rights." #Opinion https://t.co/ku0ANDsKE6

DIPLOMACY DUETS 🎤🇵🇭🇯🇵

WATCH: President Bongbong Marcos and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi shared a light moment during the state dinner in Tokyo, singing along to classic hits.

"In front of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Hong Kong MP Dominic Lee made a shocking statement: “The West talks about human rights, but lets Israel get away with committing genocide.” “The blood of Palestinians and Iranians is on their hands.” “What moral credentials does America have? A country ruled by Epstein’s followers!”

U.S. allies haven’t forgotten about Trump’s tariffs, his threats against NATO, and his curtailing of aid to Ukraine—so he shouldn’t be surprised that they’re unwilling to help him in Iran, @anneapplebaum argues.

[UN Human Rights Council Investigative Bodies @uninvhrc]

The #Iran Fact-Finding Mission is warning that the nation’s human rights crisis - characterized by unprecedented repression including violations that may amount to crimes against humanity - is likely to worsen in the wake of US-Israeli attacks. #HRC61

"#Afghanistan is a graveyard for human rights," @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk told the @UN Human Rights Council.

The system of segregation against women and girls in the country "is reminiscent of apartheid, based on gender rather than race," he said.

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.

It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.

[Phil Robertson @Reaproy]

"The EU is slowly but surely having success in some countries, at least in whittling down the number of crimes for which the penalty can be imposed," Phil Robertson, the director of Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates, told DW. "But it is not clear that progress will be sustained, so the EU would be wise to take nothing for granted." My take on the ongoing efforts to end capital punishment in SE Asia. @EPinASEAN @EUDelegationVN @EUinMalaysia

Timor Leste took an unprecedented step: its judicial authorities appointed a prosecutor to examine the Myanmar military’s responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity. It’s the first ASEAN state taking such an action against another member

And the Philippine archipelago is not small. For perspective, Typhoon Uwan’s size could cover the entire United Kingdom, most of France, and the English Strait in between them.

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

This is big. Second time for a commission of inquiry to declare a finding of genocide in recent time. “Reasonable grounds to believe” genocide is happening in the OPT. https://t.co/Xyy35nmW8T #commissionofinquiry #Israel #Gaza

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.
